Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to study the possibilities and potential barriers on the path of internationalization of the educational services market through development of the system of remote education. Design/methodology/approach: In order to determine the influence of development of the system of remote education on the process of internationalization of the educational services market, the authors use the method of regression analysis. A regression curve is built, containing the model of paired linear regression and the value of determination coefficient. The research object is the market of higher educational services -- as it is subject to internationalization and distribution of remote education. The research is performed based on the 2017 data by the example of countries from various regions of the world that show different rates and levels of socio-economic development but that achieved the largest success in development of the system of remote education -- the USA, the UK, Brazil, China, South Korea, Italy, Germany, India, Malaysia, Australia, South Africa and Russia. Due to the absence of the official international statistics on the issue of internationalization of the educational services market, the proprietary method is used for determining its level. Findings: It is concluded that remote education has a slight influence on the process of internationalization of the educational services market in the countries of the world, though it has large potential in the sphere of stimulation of internationalization of the educational services market, as it allows providing educational services of equal quality and equal cost for domestic and foreign students. Originality/value: The developed and presented model of managing the development of the remote education system of a modern university in the interests of stimulating internationalization of the educational services market allows overcoming these barriers and opening the existing potential of remote education in the sphere of stimulation of internationalization of the educational services market.

Purpose: The working hypothesis of the paper is that modern universities are peculiar for low sustainability to the changes of external environment due to low effectiveness of applied approaches to the diversification of their activities. The purpose of this paper is to verify the offered hypothesis by the example of modern Russia and develop an innovational approach to the diversification of modern university's activities on the basis of remote education, which has to expand the possibilities of modern universities in the sphere of diversification of their activities. Design/methodology/approach: This research is based on the hypothetical and deductive principles with application of the method of trend analysis, which allows studying dynamics of the number of universities in modern Russia; method of classification, which allows distinguishing the main approaches to the diversification of modern university's activities; method of comparative analysis, which allows comparing these approaches and determining their advantages and drawbacks; method of statistical analysis, which allows evaluating the effectiveness of these approaches; method of analysis of causal connections, which allows determining the logic of this innovational approach to the diversification of modern university's activities and determining its advantages as compared to existing approaches; method of modeling the state and development of socio-economic systems. The information and evidential basis of the research are statistical materials of the Federal State Statistics Service and the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation. The research covers the time interval of 2005/2006-2016/2017. Findings: It is substantiated that remote education opens additional possibilities in the sphere of diversification of modern university's activities. The developed and presented innovational approach to the diversification of modern university's activities on the basis of remote education is peculiar for higher effectiveness -- as compared to the existing approaches -- due to such advantages of remote education as minimum expenditures of labor and financial resources, potential large volume of market and obtaining advantages from "scale effect." Originality/value: The unique peculiarity and originality of the offered approach consist in the fact that remote education, which is a direction of diversification of university's activities, is not an alternative but addition to the main educational services that are provided in the traditional form. Due to this, university enters a new market segment and strengthens its positions in the current market segment, which doubles its effect by increasing the sustainability of market positions of university.

One of the ways to improve the efficiency of enterprises is the reengineering of processes. Reengineering is based on management theory and is actively used by foreign enterprises. Reengineering involves the adoption of process thinking and the use of advanced information technologies in combination with an attempt to carry out organizational transformations. Reengineering allows you to change the key elements of the company's activities, such as: the speed of customer service, the cost of production, the quality of finished products. Therefore, it is relevant for many large and medium-sized enterprises in various industries. The article discusses one of the approaches to optimizing enterprise processes – digital reengineering. It is proved that the reengineering strategy can be very effective for enterprises that face difficulties in managing processes and achieving goals. Digital reengineering can lead to a significant improvement in business processes, increase productivity and increase the competitiveness of the enterprise. The practice of reengineering at enterprises can be different and depends on the specific conditions and goals of the company. It is revealed that the organization of reengineering at the enterprise requires significant resources and efforts. However, with the right approach, reengineering can lead to a significant improvement in the productivity of the company.
